    Wow I have this problem with my buick lacrosse. I've been complaining about thus since 2019 and nobody can give me an answer. Finally thank God I found your video. I'm going to tell my Mechanic. I really appreciate you posting this video. Thank you so much!

    There has been a gas smell that comes put through the vents (stronger with the heater on), rough cold start (very loud), and cuts off (every now and then) after cold start. Now, the gas smell turns into...like a peanut smell off and on. The dealership told me that, "The vents are not
    'connected to the fuel line."😒
    This is a brand new car...got it last month and was in the shop before. I was told, then, that they couldn't find anything "mechanically wrong" with it.

    3. Bad gas mileage.
    Thank you so much. I am going to fix that soon.

    The fuel rail may have something that looks like a pressure regulator, but it's actually a pulse damper to reduce pressure pulsation and fuel pump noise. The mechanical pressure regulator is part of the fuel pump module that includes the pump, a reservoir, the gauge sending unit and a fuel flter.

    I got a 85 Chevy Caprice I got up and running for about a month, after it sat for a couple years. All was well until it started running real rough out of nowhere, so I parked it. Looked under the hood and noticed gas coming from the part mentioned in this vid. Hopefully a quick replacement will do the trick. Thanks for your time and info 💯

    That’s what I thought my problem was. I have a 86 Corvette. Never drove one before I bought it so I didn’t know how it was supposed to feel. But it was shaking at idle. Then one day it didn’t start correctly and it liked stalling a lot. I almost bought a new battery and a fuel filter because I listened to people who think they know a lot when they don’t 🤦‍♂️ I’m glad I watched this video tho thank you I almost wasted money

    2006 gmc savana, 4.3l v6...been having issues with starting it, when she starts running she burns rich(black exhaust) for a bit and then levels out. I thought it was a vaccum issue but didn't find any when I looked. I checked a couple of sensors, relays, etc...all good.
    Fuel pressure regulator makes a lot of sense but I didn't even consider it, mainly due to not being a mechanic for the passed 20 years... but also because it's hard to think straight when working on a vehicule at -15° 🥶😄

  • @davo8802
    @davo8802 3 года назад +1

    What would make a 92 lumina take forever to crank but when it does it will crankback every time untill it sets for 10 minutes. Then when it cranks back when engine is warm you have to play with gas pedal to keep it running enough to open it up going down road to clear out. But when you finally get it to crank when it's cold it doesn't do that it runs perfect till you turn it off at a gas station for 10 minutes.

    • @Flashback502
      @Flashback502  3 года назад

      It could be many things, I would start with fuel injector cleaner, then fuel pressure regulater, and clean or replace MAS.

    I just watched your video. My Dodge Dakota idles very rough when I'm warming it up in the morning and revs itself up (Very high) when it nearly dies. Lately when I drive it just a mile the engine cuts off when making a sharp turn, or just cuts off if I'm at a traffic light or stop sign. Also a few times there has been white smoke coming in the air vents that smells like exhaust. Could this also be the fuel pressure regulator? Thank you

Now this is my daily I can't have it breaking down on me and I can't afford too bring it too a mechanic. You never know they'll probably just tell me it's something other than the actual problem

    For a bad fuel regulator does it affect idle? My fuel pressure regulator is making my honda civic idle rough and hear the muffler puffing like its misfiring. What it does when its connected like the vacuum hose is on and sounds a bit rough and when i take it off it idles normal. Is that something to replace if its bad?

    • @Flashback502
      @Flashback502  4 года назад
